Review "WandaVision"

 


Hello guys, this time i will talk about one of the very insteresting series, namely WandaVision. Before we start, i want to let you know that this text contains spoilers.

What is WandaVision?

In case you’ve been living under a rock for a few years, this is Marvel Studios’ first Disney+ TV show, taking characters from their blockbuster comic-book movies and placing them in serialised adventures on the small-screen. Specifically, Wanda “Scarlett Witch” Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and her android boyfriend Vision (Paul Bettany), who both debuted in Avengers: Age of Ultron and were last seen in Avengers: Endgame. (Spoiler: Vision sacrificed himself to protect the Mind Stone from villainous Thanos.)

My First Impression

As a series that opened MCU Phase 4 it was really cool, I don't understand anymore. I didn't stop trying to recommend this series to people even though those people didn't really follow Marvel.

Before going further, I would like to remind you that you don't actually have to follow the MCU from phase 1, because wanda maximoff has started to appear in the movie "Avengers: Age Of Ultron". So you don't need to watch the first film from Marvel because it will take a very long time.

This WandaVision series is set after the avenger endgame. So I am sure you must be confused about why Vision is still alive? isn't he already dead at Thanos's hands? (Avengers: Infinity war). That's what makes this series interesting, because in this series we are made curious half to death while waiting for the episode.

Well, if you haven't watch WandaVision, i guess you need to stop here because this will be full spoiler from the series, so you can skip this.

Review 

In the first episode, we will see a show that inspired by Dick Van Dyke Show (1950). This episode tells of a couple who recently got married and moved to a sub-urban area. It's Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany). It didn't take long for the audience to find out that these two people had unique powers. Wanda can play "tricks", then Vision is an android that can penetrate solid objects. Beyond that, Wanda and Vision are ordinary couples who try to adjust to a new environment and try to find happiness. However, slowly things started happening.

In the second episode (inspired by Bewitched 1960s), Wanda and Vision team up to create a magic show for a donation event in their area. Predictably, there was a lot of chaos. Mainly because Vision accidentally swallowed gum and damaged the gear in his body. This caused Vision to feel like he was drunk and began to show his strength in the crowd such as flying, piercing solid objects, and lifting heavy objects. Wanda had to think fast so people could make sense of their thoughts. 

The weirdness happened because during the episode something was trying to break into the world of Wanda and Vision. Starting from the radio suddenly shouting "Wanda, who did this" followed by the shattering of the glass in Dottie's hand, then the discovery of a toy helicopter with a sword (and colored!) Logo, and the release of people in uniforms like beekeepers from the sewer hole. There is a sword logo too. But Wanda, who looks pregnant, doesn't want that to happen and turns back the time.

In the third episode (inspired by The Brady Bunch 1970s) Wanda who was being examined by a gynecologist accompanied by Vision. However, they do not know what caused Wanda to become pregnant. This is because in the previous episode, Wanda's stomach suddenly enlarged, and also the fact that they both came from two different species, namely humans and androids. 

Strange things often happen when Wanda experiences contractions, starting with a short circuit, causing electricity in the Westview area to go out. Wanda was afraid that her neighbors at Westview would realize that all these oddities had happened because of her. In fact, Vision has also begun to realize that there is something strange about a number of these strange events, such as having dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Heart. Vision also knows that there is something strange in the world he lives in.

After Wanda giving birth, Vision escorted the doctor out. Geraldine suddenly asks Wanda if her brother (Pietro) has been killed by Ultron, The question also suprised Wanda and glanced curiously at Geraldine. However, after that Geraldine didn't seem to remember her question about Pietro. Wanda was then curious about the symbol on the neklace worn by Geraldine and then asked who she really was. She slowly approached Geraldine with a look like someone who is angry. Then, she throws her out from the reality and when Vision come back, Geraldine was gone.

In the fourth episode (inspired by Family Ties 1980s) we will be shown how Monica Rambeau can be in the reality of wanda. This episode begins with Monica looking for her mother in the hospital and it is reported that her mother is missing due to the blip incident (snap thanos).

Jimmy Woo as an FBI agent (once featured in the film Antman) senses something isn't right on WestView, he identifies the area with help from the organization S.W.O.R.D (an organization formed by Maria "Photon" Rambeau, Monica's mother). The S.W.O.R.D organization called in Darcy Lewis to help observe Wanda's dome of reality called "HEX". We were also shown that S.W.O.R.D actually sent hundreds of drones into this reality to monitor Wanda's movements.

This dome of wanda reality is not easily penetrated by humans, objects and anything. If anyone tries to enter hex, it will adjust to the timeline that occurs in hex. For example, Monica Rambeau, who wore a bulletproof vest when she entered the hex, changed into a 60s era fashion shirt and also one of the S.W.O.R.D members who wore an astronaut outfit, changed into a bee-proof outfit. Another odd thing that happened was that the sitcom we watched for three episodes was a wave broadcast from within the hex that could only be shown on old school television. But the visuals that were displayed and what happened were different, as if someone was broadcasting the show.

Lets go to the fifth episode that inspired by Roseanne (1990s). We will be shown Wanda and Vision, who are seen taking care of their baby children named Tommy and Billy. Strangeness began to occur when her neighbor Agnes told Wanda to rewind time because Agnes was not ready to take care of Wanda's children. Vision was even more suspicious of Wanda and pretended not to know. Tommy and Billy began to accelerate their growth When Tommy and Billy have a dog named Sparky, Wanda and Vision don't allow them to take care of the animals, they must be 10 years old. Billy and Tommy started to accelerate their growth again until they were 10 years old. Vision began to be suspicious of Agnes, because he was always there when needed.

Vision went to his office to find out what was wrong. Suddenly, his office mates get a letter from S.W.O.R.D and one office laughs simultaneously which makes Vision try to restore Norm (Vision's office friend). When his memory was returned with the power of Vision's mind stone, Norm began to panic and reminded Vision to stop Wanda because previously all he felt was Wanda's suffering, Vision began to take Norm's memory back so that Wanda would not be suspicious. 

Wanda sensed a danger and immediately went out of the house, the danger Wanda felt was the drone belonging to S.W.O.R.D (the drone could go into hex because the drone was in accordance with the timeline that happeInapirened in hex). Wandapun came out of the hex and returned the drone belonging to S.W.O.R.D so that the incident would not happen again, Wanda strengthened the hex dome. On the other hand, Tommy and Billy lose Sparky, who surprisingly finds Agnes dead in Agnes's yard. They were sad and asked their mother to bring them back to life, but Wanda refused. 

A surprising thing happened in this episode, where Wanda was fighting with Vision. Someone knocked on the door, Vision thought it was Agnes who was controlled by Wanda. It turned out that the one who knocked on the door was Pietro Maximoff / QuickSilver, what surprised him was that the actor who played it was the QuickSilver actor too but in the X-Men film. There are many theories that say if Pietro was sent by Dr. Strange from the X-Men universe so that Wanda won't be sad again. And marvel fans consider this to be the beginning of the Multiverse, because this series has ties to the film Dr. Strange: In The Multiverse Of Madness and Spiderman: No Way Home.


In episode 6, WandaVision enters the 2000s era with credit titles such as Malcolm in the Middle. We see the Wanda and Vision family, along with the twins and Pietro who returned, at Halloween. Short story, Pietro becomes a cool uncle, the twins start to have superpowers, and Vision is still suspicious of what happened at WestView. Meanwhile, in the combined forces of the FBI and SWORD, there appears to be a split between Hayward and Monica Rambeau, Darcy, and Jimmy Woo.

Apart from the twins who have the potential to become future superheroes, another character who might also be a superhero is Monica Rambeau. In episode 6 of the WandaVision series, Darcy mentions that Monica's body cells have begun to change due to being exposed to Wanda's power. And in this episode, we are shown Vision trying to get out of Wanda's artificial reality which ultimately fails because all of her bodies are very much tied to that reality, Vision, who is dying from trying to get out of the hex, is felt by Tommy and finally tells Wanda that Vision is in danger. Because of that Wanda began to expand the hex which caused the headquarters of S.W.O.R.D and Darcy Lewis to go into the hex.


In the seventh episode which takes on the sitcom Modern Family, it starts with Wanda who is resting after expanding the hex however, after that incident Wanda's life experiences a Glitch where her reality changes by itself. Vision wakes up at a carnival where one of the members is Darcy, who turns into an escape expert, Vision awakens Darcy to return to normal and tries to go to Wanda's house. On the way, Darcy tells Vision's true identity.

From the side of Monica Rambeau who is trying to get into the hex using an aerospace car. When tested, the car was thrown away and half the car turned into a truck. Luckily, Monica got out of the car. Monica, who has a strong determination to try to revive Wanda, tries to get back in without any help, Monicapun manages to enter and gain strength. After she met Wanda, Wanda was visibly annoyed by Monica's arrival and tried to throw her back however, Monica was able to do a Superhero Landing. Agnes who saw the situation invited Wanda into his house.

A surprising moment occurs when Tommy and Billy are entrusted to Agnes and apparently disappear when Wanda comes to his house. Wanda tried to check the basement of the house and she was surprised to see a magical room in Agnes's house, Agnes came say her true name Agatha Harkness and she tell Wanda that she is controlling the hex all the time. It's Been Agatha All Along(Music).

Episode 8 and 9 soon, i promise!

My Inspiration

MUHAMMAD ALI Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) was an American former heavyweight champion boxer and one of the greatest sporting figures of the 20th century. An Olympic gold medalist and the first fighter to capture the heavyweight title three times, Ali won 56 times in his 21-year professional career. Ali’s outspokenness on issues of race, religion and politics made him a controversial figure during his career, and the heavyweight’s quips and taunts were as quick as his fists. Born Cassius Clay Jr., Ali changed his name in 1964 after joining the Nation of Islam. Citing his religious beliefs, he refused military induction and was stripped of his heavyweight championship and banned from boxing for three years during the prime of his career. Parkinson’s syndrome severely impaired Ali’s motor skills and speech, but he remained active as a humanitarian and goodwill ambassador.
